Well 60-a52-encoder.conf is shipped from upstream. So would you please report this to alsa-de...@alsa-project.org and keep 998...@bugs.debian.org in Cc: ? > > When I replaced that file with a much simpler one (see below) 5.1 > digital out worked as expedted. We won't replace your a52.conf with 60-a52-encoder.conf as there are users who might find the original conf file ok. You can create a $HOME/.asoundrc with your configuration.
